Happy Inauguration Day!

No matter what your political views, you have to admit that today is a historic day in America. I made some festive cupcakes to celebrate the day. No new recipes here. I followed the yellow cake and chocolate frosting recipes that I used when I sent cupcakes to some friends and family members last year.
I also made these festive funfetti by adding a tablespoon each of red and blue sprinkles to the batter before baking them.

Mmmm, brownies and frosting, how decadent!

I could use that extra caffeine jolt right about now!
Are you a fan of mint & chocolate? My favorite frosted brownies that my grandma always made had a layer of mint frosting and then a chocolate glaze. But I heart coffee + chocolate too 🙂
In that last picture the melty chocolate chip is starting at me! It looks soooo delicious! I love anything with coffee flavors, so these are right up my alley!
I already know these are good b/c you used my go-to recipe for brownies, too! haha The frosting looks perfect. I must make these soon.
Oh boy does that look good!
Your week of brownies is such a cute idea! This is my favorite so far – the frosting just takes them over the top!
I have to admit that I just love boxed brownies, but now the photo of these want me to try making them from scratch again!
